29 members of Congress
have been accused of spousal abuse, 7 have been arrested
for fraud, 19 have been accused
of writing bad checks, 117 have bankrupted at least
two businesses, 3 have been arrested
for assault, 71 have credit reports
so bad they can't qualify for a credit
card, 14 have been arrested
on drug-related charges, 8 have been arrested
for shoplifting, 21 are current defendants
in lawsuits, and
in 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk

claimed Congressional immunity.

Politicians
and diapers have one thing in common. They should
both be changed regularly and for the same reason.

Whole World As 100 People (S108, S362)

Happy NEW YEAR...A Time to Reflect
!!

If we could shrink the earth's
population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all
the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would
look something like the following:

There would be:

57 Asians 21 Europeans 14 from the Western Hemisphere,
both north and south 8 Africans

52 would be female 48 would be male

70 would be non-white 30 would be white

70 would be non-Christian 30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess 59% of
the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the
United States.

80 would live in substandard
housing

70 would be unable to read

50 would suffer from malnutrition

1 would be near death

1 would be near birth

1 (yes, only 1) would have a
college education

1 would own a computer

When one considers our world
from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance,
understanding and education becomes glaringly
apparent.

The following is also something
to ponder...

If you woke up this morning with
more health than illness, you are more blessed than the
million who will not even survive this week.

If you have never experienced
the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ...you are
ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you
are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

If you have food in the refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place
to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ...
you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If your parents are still alive
and still married ... you are very rare, even in the United
States and Canada.

If you can read this message,
you just received a double blessing in that someone was
thinking of you, and further- more, you are more blessed than
over two billion people in the world that cannot read
at all.

Someone once said: What
goes around comes around.

Work like you don't need the
money. Love like you've never been
hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. Sing like nobody's listening. Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

It's the beginning of a New Year,
time to reflect, and time to plan for the immediate
future for your continued prosperity!

I think everyone on this planet
needs to read this. This was sent by a 78 yr. old former
nun. The thoughts are pure and we all understand the point...

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! There
are a few things that those who have recently come to our country,
and apparently some native Americans, need to understand.

First of all, it is not our responsibility
to continually try not to offend you in any
way. This idea of America being a multicultural community
has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national
identity.

As Americans, we have our own
culture, our own society, our own language, and our own
lifestyle. This culture, called the "American Way" has
been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories
by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.

Our forefathers fought, bled,
and died at places such as Bunker Hill, Antietam, San Juan,
Iwo Jima, Normandy, Korea, Vietnam...

We speak English, not Spanish,
Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language.
Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society -,
learn our language!"

"In God We Trust" is our national
motto. This is not some off-the-wall,Christian, Right
Wing, political slogan -- it is our national motto.

It is engraved in stone in the
House of Representatives in our Capitol and it is printed
on our currency. We adopted this motto because Christian
men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation
and this is clearly documented throughout our history.
If it is appropriate for our motto to be inscribed
in the halls of our highest level of Government, then it
is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our
schools.

God is in our pledge, our National
Anthem, nearly every patriotic song, and in our founding
documents. We honor His birth, death, and resurrection
as holidays, and we turn to Him in prayer in times
of crisis. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider
another part of the world as your new home, because
God is part of our culture and we are proud to
have Him.

We are proud of our heritage
and those who have so honorably defended our freedoms.
We celebrate Independence Day, Memorial Day,
Veterans Day, and Flag Day. We have parades,
picnics, and barbecues where we proudly wave our flag.

As an American, I have the right
to wave my flag, sing my national anthem, quote my
national motto, and cite my pledge whenever and wherever
I choose. If the Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't
like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a
move to another part of this planet.

The American culture is our way
of life, our heritage, and we are proud of it.
We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change,
and we really don't care how you did things where you
came from. Like it or not, this is our country, our land,
and our lifestyle.

Our First Amendment gives every
citizen the right to express his opinion about our
government, culture, or society, and we will allow you
every opportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining,
whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge,
our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage
you take advantage of one other great American freedom:
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE!

Another thing: To those who do
complain about the usage of words like 'God' and 'American'
and speaking the language of our great nation,
TRY GOING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND SPEAK AGAINST WHAT
YOU DON'T LIKE. YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY END UP JAILED
OR EVEN KILLED.

In America, you take your right
to complain for granted. The more patriotism that is
removed from where our children are taught, the less
our children will learn about what it is to be an American
and our nation's spirit will slowly be killed. Keep
patriotism alive!

The following has apparently
been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye
from GA.

"We, the sensible people of the
United States, in an attempt to help everyone get
along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots,
keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and
secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves
and our great-great-great- grandchildren, hereby try one
more time to ordain and establish some common sense
guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional,
and other, bed-wetters.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:
that a whole lot of people are confused by the
Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill
of No Rights".

ARTICLE I: You do not have the
right to a new car, big screen TV or any other form
of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them,
but no one is guaranteeing you anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the
right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom,
and that means freedom for everyone - not just you!
You may leave the room, turn channel, express a different
opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots, and probably
always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have
the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver
in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect
the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently
wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the
right to free food and housing. Americans are
the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help
anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing
generation after generation of professional couch
potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation
of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

ARTICLE V: You do not have the
right to free health care. That would be nice, but from
the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in
public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the
right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap,
rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised
if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric
chair.

ARTICLE VII: You do not have
the right to the possessions of others. If you rob,
cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens,
don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock
you away in a place where you still won't have the right to
a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You don't have
the right to demand that our children risk their lives in
foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience. We
hate oppressive governments and won't lift a finger to stop
you from going to fight if you'd like. However, we
do not enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to spend
so much of our time battling each and every little tyrant
with a military uniform and a funny hat.

ARTICLE IX: You don't have the
right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job,
and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect
you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and
vocational training laid before you to make yourself
useful.

ARTICLE X: You do not have the
right to happiness. Being an American means that you have
the right to PURSUE happiness - which by the way,
is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an overabundance
of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused
by the Bill of Rights."

If you agree, share this with
a friend. No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic
will befall you if you don't. I just think it is about time
common sense is allowed to flourish - call it the age of
reason revisited.

tell us that rebellion, like charity, should begin at home?"
